Draft Scouting Report

Pro Comparison: Zaccharie Risacher

Summary

Ament is a late-blooming, big forward who continued to ascend throughout his high school career. He has one of the higher long-term upsides of anyone in this year’s draft class, but a potentially wider degree of possible outcomes as he isn’t yet as consistently impactful as Peterson, Dybantsa and Boozer.

About

Consensus five-star prospect who finished ranked No. 4 overall in the 2025 recruiting class.
Selected for the McDonald’s All-American Game, Jordan Brand Classic and Nike Hoop Summit.
Naismith First-Team All-American and Gatorade Player of the Year in the state of Virginia.

Strengths

Overlap of size, skill, dexterity, fluidity and solid athleticism.
Soft natural hands & touch, along with a high release point, are the basis for his mismatch skill-set. Posted 47/42/90 shooting splits on the Adidas 3SSB Circuit.
Shows foundation and increasing flashes of being a three-level scoring threat.

Weaknesses

Lack of strength and sheer force in his game which can impact his physicality.
Can play upright, without ideal bend or upper body elasticity, on both ends of the floor.
His tools and potential exceed the consistency of his production.
